Just got back from a few races, results inside
Well as much as I would like to say that I smoked that Supercharged Celica I didnt. We went out to a country road where there is a long long strip of road that we raced in the middle of, if a car was coming we could see it about 2 miles before it got to us in either way. So anyway the guy in the celica is such an arrogant piece of **** I would have loved to have beat him. We raced from a stop to around 90 and he had about a car and a half on me when it was all said and done. However I gained some of my confidence back when I raced a 5Speed V6 Rustang with Intake/Exhaust. I beat that car by a good 3 cars to about 100. There was some pretty sweet races to watch tonight though, and to answer that question there was a silver 2002 WRX (stock) that raced that Celica and left him in the dust. The WRX jumped out to a big lead right off of the line and never looked back. So that made me feel a little better to watch the celica lose. Just thought id let you know the results. I need to find a way to make my car a little faster. Im thinking Dons VB mod and an ECU upgrade. I dont want to get into NOS. Take Care

thats interesting, i dont know a whole lot about either the wrx or the celica gt-s, but i assumed that a stock wrx would beat a celica gt-s with full trd package off the line(wrx = all wheel drive), but would lose in long run to the celica; nice job on the kill of the mustang!

I mentioned this in the other post, keep in mind that the Celica GT-s is SUPERCHARGED so its not just a regular celica. And it came TRD from the factory it wasnt a conversion. Just thought id clear that up. Take Care

Those Celica GTS's are quick! I wouldn't mess with one even if it SC'd and I was SC'd. I know someone that did 14.6 with just an intake. I can't imagine what the SC is doing for it. 
Sounds like fun though....

Nope, sorry, no such thing as a supercharger for the GT or even the GT-S Celica, especially from TRD. I strongly suggest you visit www.newcelica.org. and you will see these guys are itching for any kind of power adder. The closest thing they have will be for the GT which is a turbo. The GT-S runs a ultra high 11.5 compression which isn't boost friendly by any means. There are HUGE obstacles to overcome to make the GT-S be able to accept boost either from a turbo or SC. To run boost on a GT-S will require a lower compression via new pistons or a really tall head gasket (ie big bucks either way). TRD only makes "roots" style blowers and there's no way you'd be able to cram one of those under the hood of a GT/GT-S because the Celica is a packaging nightmare. There's really nowhere to mount a centerfugial blower like a Vortech/Paxton/ATI.
I don't want to come off saying your a liar or an idiot, but there is no such thing as a SC for the 2000+ Celicas (newest body style). The owner was pulling your chain. Kitbar knows more about this than me, I'm sure.
